Anita_Marie
I am a young woman who use to weigh 385 pounds. I struggled with my weight for most of my youth and well into my 20's. I dealt with chest pains, shortness of breath, borderline diabeties, public humiliation, not finding clothing that fit me, and a host of other obstacles. At 28 years old i decided to undergo weight loss surgery. I had the Vertical sleeve gastrectomy on august 20th, 2013 at Mount sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York. My surgeon is Dr. Scott Q. Nguyen. He is absolutely amazing! since my surgery i have lost 206 pounds in the course of 2 1/2 years. I experienced some rough patches but i had and still have a great medical team that supported me the entire way. I am currently living my best life by traveling. I am exercising to maintain my weight to the best of my ability. I donot have any children. I enjoy singing, acting and motivational speaking. I share my story for people to be encouraged and inspired. If my story helped at least one person, then i've fulfilled my purpose. I look forward to sharing my story on a larger platform and writing my first book.
